Smoke Control Solutions
11 March, 1-2pm
Smoke control is a key part of any building’s fire strategy, as statistically smoke is the real threat to life in a fire situation.
Having effective smoke control systems in place means that, should a fire break out on site, occupants can evacuate quickly and calmly and the risks are reduced for firefighters.
Join Paul Evans from Ash Fire Management & Ventilation Systems for a live webinar on the specialist area of smoke control and the importance of venting smoke, heat and pressure.
The talk is certified by the Institution of Fire Engineers.

CIOB Virtual Adapt & Thrive Conference
24 March, 9am-5.30pm
Covid-19 continues to affect communities across the globe. The return of construction workers on site during the pandemic highlighted the importance of the construction, both economically and socially. Building hospitals in just a few days, the industry played a critical role in responding to the crisis
But with a shortage of skilled labour recognised before the pandemic hit, the role of digital technology and modernisation is key to future success and longevity.
The industry needs to reimagine the next normal to create a built environment that is fit for all.
- What will the construction industry look like post-pandemic?
- How does the built environment sector need to change to meet the changing needs of society?
- How can the industry adapt to futureproof both the industry and the buildings it creates?
Speakers from a broad selection of Industry bodies, government officials, key influencers from the industry and innovative tech companies will share their vision for achieving an agile and productive industry that is fit to underpin the social and economic demands of modern day living.
